We are sitting here, in a boring room... just an other day, just monday afternoon...
We are wasting our times, we got nothing to do (so not true but...)
We are hanging around and just waiting for cake!

Examenphase is so crazy!
That we are of to wonderful-amazing-cake land!

Did we actually said, we are totally back.. ?! We are sorry, that it is mostly empty in 2014 on our blog! This will change, hopefully! But right know we are busy bees! University is kind of awesome, but also it takes our last nervous away!
Together we are writing more than 10 exams and have a lot of papers to write...

But we miss working creatively on our blog! So again hopefully after this "horrible" examen time, we are more often to see on fat-cat-connection!

But maybe you are enjoying January a little more than we can do?!
And if not, what helps us in our most freaky times are cups cakes, latin music and at night, to sleep tight, a good spanish vino!

Let's be honest here: the first week of university wasn't a full success (+ I caught a serious cold)....but we have another 11,8 months to make this year a great one so maybe next week will be so much better.
For now, we are looking forward to a nice weekend!
Have a wonderful one yourself!

Today's the day! While our holidays are almost over and real life (meaning university and work) are about to begin again, today is also the day Bird and I will be back together...she is heading home from Dubai- fancy, right?- and I'll make my way up from the beautiful black forest. So tonight it will be pizza-laughter-talkingtalkingtalking time and I'm looking forward to seeing my very best friend again very much!
Hopefully you had a great break as well and feel reenergized and ready to conquer 2014!
Have a wonderful weekend!

A happy new year to all of you!
I hope you had an amazing new year's eve and feel good about 2014 and not too hung over!
Did you make any new year resolutions? Or are you wise enough not to believe in those?
Let me tell you about mine:
I love making lists- and every other way one can daydream about being productive while wasting time.
This year everything I ever decided to be was on the list again...all the usual suspects including not eating meat any longer; not eating milk-products that are not organic; becoming very sporty in a very short amount of time; not searching for the sweetness in pain but rather for the light; talking to all the people I care about more often/at all; being more reliable, more punctional, better organized, better prepared, better in general; never being whiny ever; working on my writing instead of my Spider Solitaire skills; reading all the classics, and all the rest and so on and so on and so on.
Then I caught a look of my face in the mirror and my worried expression and decided to destroy my list (literally....I have firm faith in big gestures).
My resolution for 2014 now looks like this:

- being kind to myself

I am such a big believer in kindness. Being kind (meaning friendly, compassionate, considerate) is more important to me than any other norm of human behaviour and I guess I do rather well with every person on earth except myself. Therefore, this year, I wanna include myself in this circle of compassion and treat myself less like an arch-enemy and more like a friend. And I will be kind to myself- even if I don't fulfill my resolution every minute of every day.

Have a great first day of this new born year.
Love from the black forest,
